During our morning break this morning, I asked the team for suggestions for this month’s ‘Gormless Feminist of the Month’ award. Several names were put forward, but in the end all agreed that the apologists for Laura Bates’s continuing refusal to retract the lie which recently resulted in her becoming a ‘Lying Feminist of the Month’ should be given the award. Two outstanding examples of those apologists – ‘SweetStrawberryShell’ and ‘WeeFaolan’ – posted mind-numbingly gormless comments in response to one of Herbert Purdy’s YouTube videos, and a link to that video is on Bates’s award certificate.
About Mike Buchanan
Mike Buchanan is a British men's rights activist (MRA) and anti-feminist. He was the founder and former leader (2013-20) of this party, and handed over the leadership to Elizabeth Hobson in May 2020.
J4MB remains the only party in the English-speaking world which is resolutely anti-feminist and campaigns for the human rights of men and boys on many fronts. Those rights are assaulted by states' actions and inactions in many areas, almost always to privilege women and girls. 20 such areas were explored in the party's 2015 general election manifesto.
Mike was a business executive for 30 years before taking early retirement in 2010. He's written 10 books and is also a publisher. His last three books have been concerned with gender and gender politics, the most recent being Feminism: the ugly truth (2016).
In 2012 Mike launched The Anti-Feminism League and Campaign for Merit in Business. His Wikipedia page was created by a feminist, and remains largely the work of feminists.
Mike is the creator of the website Laughing at Feminists.
He has sole responsibility for organizing future International Conferences on Men's Issues (ICMIs) in Europe and North America, and was a key organizer of the London conferences in 2016, 2018 and the 120-speaker online conference in 2020.
